Chapter: 1063

"Back when I was 18 years old on my birthday, Li Auntie used her thriftiness to take me and a few friends out for a meal at that hotel. She even bought me a cake to celebrate, and after that, I no longer met the adoption criteria for the welfare institute, so I ventured out into society alone.

Now thinking back, that meal we had was the most heartwarming one of my life.

Then he immediately said, 'Who would have thought that hotel is still open! Xiaofen chose this place too great! Let's meet there!'"

"Jiang Ming replied, 'I say, Ye Chen, everyone has worked so many years and has some savings. When facing Li Auntie, we don't need to be so frugal.'"

"Ye Chen said, 'I'm not being frugal; I respect Li Auntie's habits. We should take Li Auntie to a five-star hotel. Li Auntie may not really be happy about it, but might feel it's too lavish and will regret it for a long time.'"

"Jiang Ming said, 'Cut it out! Don't you know me? You're just trying to save two bucks, right?'"

"Saying that, Jiang Ming sent another voice message: 'Ye Chen, I know you're not doing well, having become the son-in-law and all. It's normal to have no money in hand. However, Li Auntie has brought you up and raised you; such a big debt of gratitude, even if you bleed out, it's still worth inviting her to dine nicely again.'"

"Ye Chen involuntarily furrowed his brow."

"This Jiang Ming, he never got along with me when I was at the welfare institute. Back then, Jiang Ming relied on himself being stronger and more robust than others, and would often gather a gang of friends and bully other kids."

"Ye Chen also received criticism from the other side, but since he had practiced some martial arts when he was at the Yingjing Ye family's place, most people were no match for him. So when Jiang Ming came to cause trouble with a group of people, they were all beaten up crying and seeking refuge."

"For this reason, Jiang Ming has been nursing a grudge against Ye Chen, opposing him on every matter and targeting him in every way."

"What's more, this guy has always had an unjust heart, causing trouble at the welfare institute when he was young."

"He had gotten caught several times stealing things outside, but Li Auntie would come to his rescue, paying off debts and apologizing, and thus saved him each time."

"After all these years, Ye Chen estimates that this person is probably not going anywhere either."

"But Ye Chen didn't feel like getting into an argument with him, saying casually, 'Do whatever you want. I still think the hotel recommended by Xiao Fen is most suitable.'"

"Xiao Fen also hastily said, 'I think Ye Chen's words make sense. Li Auntie has been frugal her whole life; if we invite her to a five-star hotel for dinner, she'll definitely not be accustomed to it.'"

"A childhood friend like Hao also nodded in agreement."

"The others all expressed their approval as well, so Xiao Fen said, 'Alright, let's go together tonight. We have 10 people altogether, with 9 of them supporting going to the old restaurant. Let's just follow the majority!' Then she went ahead and booked a private room at that hotel! Come quickly everyone!'"

"All right all right all right!" The crowd enthusiastically agreed and happily assented."

Just thinking about meeting Aunt Li soon, Xu Chen couldn't help but get excited.

Since Grandma Xiao's funeral, he hadn't seen Aunt Li again because Tang Si Hai had sent her to Yanjing directly.

Xu Chen and Aunt Li have a very deep emotional bond, almost like he considers her his mother.

When Aunt Li was first diagnosed with an illness, Xu Chen risked everything to find ways to raise money, even secretly selling blood and taking out Xiao Churen's private funds to ensure Aunt Li's survival.

If it weren't for him going all out to help Aunt Li, she might not have made it until Tang Si Hai appeared. She would probably have already passed away.

However, Xu Chen feels that these are things he should do, even if they're just a tiny repayment of Aunt Li's kindness towards him. JrNovels.com
